[b]Henri Bergson
The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.[/b]
Try to pin that down objectively.
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
If only all the way to the grave.
Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.
Sure, why not. You’ll only end up rationalizing all of it anyway.
The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.
Indeed, the idea of lots of things.
Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon them from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins their journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of following the crowd and by choosing knowledge over the veils of ignorance.
Or, sure, for many, unfortunately.
The universe is a machine for the making of Gods.
What, you thought it was the other way around?
